I'll tell you why Nintendo fans are so excited over 1 week's worth of sales.

Looking a little bleak actually. I sincerely hope VGChartz estimates are wrong, because if the Wii U couldn't outsell the PS4 for at least one week with its biggest exclusive of the year, then Nintendo are in trouble. And before people lecture me on Watchdogs being a huge release, it was available on 4 other platforms and received 2 months straight of negative press coming up to its launch.

This mindset still doesn't make sense to me. Watch_Dogs was marketed as a PS4 game, and Sony fans tell me the PS4 version was the best version. It's not too hard for PS4 to go from 120k to 200k, but it's insane for Wii U to go from 40k to nearly 190k. You can downplay the bump, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a great one. 

It is a great bump, and while I don't mean to delve into semantics, it's exactly that, a bump. I'm just not sure if Nintendo have the necessary bevy of titles planned out for the next 4 years to keep the Wii U relevant amongst consumers. I suppose E3 and TGS will alleviate my concerns.
